filling the hall, a vast majority OF the
delegates having slumbertd late. IL
was il O'clock beiO Q the convention
was called to order and at that hour the
hall. from pit to chandelier, was 1lled
to oyertloWing. Flaunting fans sglta
ted the air and kept time to patriotic
mnsic of bands. Music Hall never held
snch an au Hence before, and no crowd
ever entered its doors which was so WelI
provided for. Everything was IN the
most perfect order and no confusion,
whatever, occurred. .
All the district meetings were
held last night, and there was
plain sailing when the convention met.
The weather was pleasant and the hall
a comfortable one. Before a ballot was
reached all was at sea as to who would
win tbe first prize-the GOVernsh1p.
The managers Of Powell, Campbell
and Foran cIsimed everything
with confidence and the record OF
AEsnaias was elipsed by these men.

Executive Committee, called the Con
yentlon to order, and mace neat and
appropriate speech. The committee on
CFedentisls reported all delegations full
and no contests. The organization

chairman of the convention; E, D. Saw
yer, of CuyahOga, secretary, ana one as
sistant secretary from each OF the Con
gressionsI dis ,ricts. John McGfegor

Hon. George E. Seney, on taking the
chair, made long an able speech. AT
the mention of the names OF candidates
+ # Governor by Seney, each were loudly
cheered, but CampbelPs friends appear
ed to have the best lungs.
The r solutions endorse President

convict labor, and also the Republican
Legislature; demand pure ballot and
honest count; favor home rule and also
a license LIQUOR law, etc., etc.
Hon. James Neal, OF Butler county.

convention the Hon. Thos. Powell, of
DO,aw ire county, and Eek. Aeisley, OF
CuyabOgs, nominated hon. Martin A.
Foran, OF Cleveland. Each candidate
was also seconded by other speakers.
The enthusiasm here Is at white heat,
and presents a glorious v1tOry before
the snow falls next November. The
contests for ofli es on the ticket have
all been made good naturedly, and
though all fought hard for their friends
it was a fight that left no bitterness
behind.
